North Korea is not going to destroy the USA, so there is no reason to continue that dialogue. North Korea is unable to destroy the USA.
Dennis is right. It seems as though Kim needs to come to the USA for talks. He
Kim needs to begin to find his way out of the maze of hatred and oppression. The North Korean people need a break. Kim, Jr. might be the very person that can bring about that paradigm shift. Seriously.
This entire escalation of tensions and muscle flexing does seem like a scenario to be taken seriously. It is not as though North Korea doesn't have capacity, but, in realistic terms their options are limited. Damaging, of course. But, for Kim to actually articulate his willingness to talk in a serious way to prevent confrontation is more than welcome. I would not trivialize it.
I would like to see the end of the DMZ and a tourist attraction to a peace marker of the border with the ability of families to visit each other. I'd like to see free trade between the North and South. I would like to see NORMALIZATION of relations between the two countries and talks to what the identities of a divided peninsula really means.
There are huge deficits between the quality of life of the two countries on a single peninsula. I'd like to see the people of North Korea eating and kept warm. I'd like to see their fisherman providing a healthy diet to their nation. I'd like to see products of North Korea sold in the USA to consumers. I'd like to see cultural exchanges. I'd like to see a laundry list of consumer demands by the North Koreans the USA could bring to them in a measure of peace, prosperity and well being.
If Dennis can do that, he can do anything.
